68 | The Gut-Weight Connection: How Gut Health Impacts Postpartum Fat Loss


Listen Later

Gut health is everywhere these days—it’s become a total buzzword. But what does it really mean for postpartum moms trying to lose weight, feel less bloated, and boost their energy?

In this episode of the Strong & Nourished Momma Podcast, I’m breaking down the real science of gut health, how it impacts postpartum fat loss, and why you don’t need expensive tests or supplement stacks to heal your gut.

✨ Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • What the gut microbiome actually is (hint: it’s more than just bacteria!)
  • The difference between eubiosis (balance) and dysbiosis (imbalance)
  • Why intestinal permeability—or “leaky gut”—matters for moms
  • The most common gut health challenges postpartum (like antibiotics, stress, and nutrient gaps)
  • The truth about probiotics: why strain matters and how to avoid wasting money
  • Simple, effective strategies you can use right now to support your gut health and metabolism
  • 💡 Key takeaway: Gut health is foundational for fat loss, energy, and recovery postpartum—but you don’t need to spend hundreds on tests to start healing. Most moms can see big improvements with simple, consistent strategies.
